The alar cartilage is a small, flexible structure located in the nose, specifically at the tip of the nasal septum and surrounding the nostrils. Its primary function is to provide shape and support to the external nose, helping to maintain its structure and allowing for the proper functioning of the nostrils during breathing. Additionally, the alar cartilage plays a role in facilitating the movement of the nostrils, which can aid in airflow regulation and enhance the sense of smell.
